INTRODUCTION Background The Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Planned Community District in the City of Newport Beach has been developed in accordance with the Newport Beach General Plan. The purpose of this Planned Community District is to provide a method whereby property may be classified and developed for hospital- related uses. The specifications of this District are intended to provide land use and development standards supportive of the proposed use while ensuring compliance with the intent of all applicable regulatory codes. The Planned Community District includes district regulations and a development plan for both the upper and lower campuses of Hoag Hospital. In general, over the long term, the upper campus will become oriented primarily towards emergency, acute and critical care (predominantly inpatient) uses and the lower campus will be developed with predominantly outpatient uses, residential care and support services. Whenever the regulations contained in the Planned Community text conflict with the regulations of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the regulations contained in the Planned Community text shall take precedence. The Municipal Code shall regulate this development when such regulations are not provided within these district regulations. All development within the Planned Community boundaries shall comply with all provisions of the Uniform Building Code and other governing building codes. iy.CP II.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN Project Characteristics The upper campus of Hoag Hospital is located on a triangular site of approximately 17.57 acres and is bounded by Newport Boulevard to the east, Hospital Road to the north and existing residential developments (the Versailles and Villa Balboa/Seafaire condominiums) to the west. The lower campus is located north of West Coast Highway, south of the Versailles and Villa Balboa/Seafaire Condominiums, west of Newport Boulevard and east of Superior Avenue. It contains approximately 20.41 acres and adjoins the upper campus at its eastern boundary. The upper campus is, and will continue to be, oriented towards inpatient functions, while the lower campus will be developed with predominantly outpatient, residential care and support services. Development Plan The Planned Community Development Plan for Hoag Hospital is shown on Exhibit 1. From 1990 to 2015, many of the existing buildings shown on the Development Plan for the upper campus may be redeveloped in order to functionally respond to the needs of the Hospital and conform to the requirements of State agencies. The Development Plan includes a 0.8 acre view park adjacent to the bike trail between the lower campus and the Villa Balboa/Seafaire Condominiums. This view park includes a twenty -foot wide linear park area adjacent to the bike path (approximately 0.5 acres) and a consolidated view park at the westerly edge of the property (approximately 0.3 acres). A bike trail connection is also provided between the existing bike trails at the northern and southern boundaries of the lower campus. Access to the lower campus will be from West Coast Highway and Superior Avenue, as well as from Hospital Road, via the upper campus. Exhibit 2 shows the internal circulation for Hoag Hospital. The Development Plan does not specify building locations or specific hospital related uses. Instead, a developable area is identified based on the regulations established for this Planned Community District. Because of the dynamic nature of the health care industry which leads to rapid technological changes that effect how health care services are delivered, the Development Plan for Hoag Hospital sets development caps as a function of allowable densities established by the Newport Beach General Plan. 1q. io LEGEND m AREA OF DEVELOPMENT AVENUE, SUPERIDR ,1 i �- t,oNOS/aryr� ^v.5,»�a>r ,z�. - ..'����.,��u �� ���I •I j.

In order to provide flexibility for the hospital to respond to changes in the health care industry, while at the same time ensuring that trip generation restrictions are adhered to and the overall development cap is not exceeded, this Development Plan allows Hoag Hospital to adjust the development profile provided in the statistical analysis. For example, if changing hospital needs necessitate the development of additional outpatient uses, this development would be allowed, consistent with the Development Plan, as long as a corresponding adjustment in square footage and trip generation for another use were to occur. This Development Plan allows Hoag Hospital to adjust the development profile provided in the statistical analysis (Table 1) as long as the development limit (i.e., square feet) or the trip generation limit for the peak period (as identified in the Environmental Impact Report) established within each phase of development is not exceeded. Adjustments to the Development Plan may be allowed if the total square footage or trip generation allowed in the current phase of development is exceeded, if the total development or trip generation allowed under the Development Plan is not exceeded.
